Hello, I am trying to wrap my head around the coordinates systems associated with the layout() function ...with the end goal of simply drawing a decorative line in the upper margin of my figure, which is composed of three plots. My output is defined as this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- postscript("out.ps", horizontal=FALSE,

Hello all, I've been using binconf (package Hmisc) at a range of alpha values and noticed that using the 'Wilson' method when alpha is larger (i.e. narrow CI), results in the upper value being smaller than the lower value. The 'exact' and 'asymptotic' methods give results in the realm I'd expect. But the help file suggests: "Following Agresti and Coull, the

I'm trying to generate some plots for print publication and I'm having trouble getting them the way I want. I get a plot with a legend that overlaps the bars and looks bad. Also, I'm saving this as PDF file (whatever happened to the "png" function to save as PNG format, in r 1.4.1?) I've tried a number of things, which produce a number of questions. 1) it seems that the

It takes a lot of sweat to generate a composite plot with R ... sigh. I though I was almost done when I met the umpteenth hurdle. I cannot place a nice title on the 2nd plot (raw signal) on the layout. I do not have control on where either the "main" option of "plot" function, or "title", place the text string which keeps dysplaying chopped from above. I also tried

Hi all, I've got R for windows 2.3.1 I'm trying to modify my lattice histograms. The following does reset the y-label to blue, but I cannot turn off the label (alpha=0), nor shift label position (I'm assuming that is what lineheight is for). Is 'lineheight' the equivalent of 'line' in mtext? Am I erring somehow? Thanks!

Is there some way to make mtext horizontal along the vertical axis? Can I use mtext numerous times for one graph (created using symbols(...)) so that at the right of each graph there is a list of numbers along the axis? I have two graphs on the same page and would like to have a list of identifying numbers next to each circle of the graph. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks, K

Respected R forum I am learning R and relatively quite new to R. I am generating a scatter-plot as given below. (My actual table is much larger). # Sample data frame y = c(20, 23, 17, 31, 68) x = c(200, 300, 400, 500, 600) plot(x, y, type = 'l') If I plot this scatter-plot in excel, the data values are displayed if I place the cursor at some desired place of the graph. E.g. if I

Hi Folks, I'm contemplating using locator() to digitise external graphics. To set context, I would be using X11 display on Linux. To pre-empt the obvious comment: I've found on the R site the suggestion to use the 'pixmap' package. I've tried this, and it works; but it involves building a big R object (the internal pixmap representation), and this chokes my somewhat puny

Dear R users I created the graph at the bottom using xyplot in the lattice package. I added a title using the main="Title" command in xyplot, however it is plotted too close to the legend for my liking. To remedy this I increased the upper margin of the plot using plot(data, position = c(0,0,1,.9)) and attempted to move "SNA" upwards and to the right. I have tried using a

Dear grid expeRts, I would like to create a layout with grid that looks like the following, but with cells (1,1), (1,4), (4,1), and (4,4) removed and cells (2,1) and (3,1) (and (4,2) and (4,3)) combined to one cell (so that contents can easily be centered. How can this be achieved? require(grid) gl <- grid.layout(4, 4, widths=unit(c(1, 3, 3, 1), "cm"),

Dear R forum Please refer to my query captioned Error with function. I had missed in bracket ")" in the return statement and hence I was getting the error.

hi all, It's not clear to me how (or if) I can pass multiple values for lty to a key in xyplot? I've tried: lines=list(lty=1:3), to no avail. Do I need to use something other than auto.key? (Deepayan, if you're out there, I have your book and must admit the answer isn't jumping out at me.) thanks in advance! Michael Folkes example code: #____________________________

I'm running windows xp, R 2.3.1 with maptools 0.6-6, I guess. When plotting from a large SpatialLinesDataFrame and using xlim & ylim to reduce the area, the plot axes automatically have the same scale size, even if xlim and ylim ranges differ. E.g.: tmp <- readShapeLines(filepath) plot(tmp,xlim=c(-126,-119),ylim=c(50,51)) The y-axis range is actually 47-54, same range as the x-axis.

I'm using ssplot for drawing a map of Austria and colour the nine provinces regarding their share of employment. Now I wanted to add the figures in each province and failed miserably. Using the locator() and text() function caused the error message "invalid graphics state". I try to show you what I have done below, maybe you can find a general fault in my codes. I know that it's

Hi, I'm trying to add points to 2 plots on the fly using par(mfg=vector) so switch between them. However, the appropriate scales aren't switched when changing from one plot to another, e.g. par(mfcol=c(2,1)) plot(1,1, col="blue") # blue plot plot(1.2,1.2, col="red") # red plot points(1.1,1.1) # appears to bottom left of red point par(mfg=c(1,1)) #

Dear r-help, Please, be so kind, tell me what does mean the parameter of layout.show()? I use R 1.6.2... Windows NT 4.0 Unfortunately I cannot understand phrases from the help "n: number of figures to plot." what figures? "`layout.show(n)' plots (part of) the current layout, namely the outlines of the next `n' figures." what figures?

1. How do I get a grid in the background of my xyplots, like Figure 1 of http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/DSC-2001/Proceedings/Murrell.pdf 2. In my scatter xyplot I have multiple columns and rows of panels. I would like to have different y scales for panels in different rows (panels in same rows have same y scales). In such a scenario, only the outside axes are necessary,

Sir, I would like to create a combined line-bar plot, with the line up top and bar plot below, but with the x-axes suppressed on the topmost plot, the line and bar plot areas joined by a common line, and the x-axes (of dates) joined to the bottom part of the bar plot. i have been able to format the area using the layout(matrix( ... commands, but cannot figure out the final step. here's the
